On Tuesday evening, West Indies will cross swords against Australia in the second T20 International of the ongoing five-match series on home soil. The high-octane clash will be played at the historic Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. 

Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia had a fantastic start to the series, swatting aside the hosts by three wickets in the opening game. After Ben Dwarshuis' clinical spell restricted the Windies to 189, Australia chased the target with seven balls to spare, riding on a blistering half-century from Mitchell Owen. 

Thus, considering they failed to live up to the expectations in the first T20I, West Indies would be desperate to bounce back and restore parity in the series. Meanwhile, the visitors would like to seal another win and take a valuable 2-0 lead. 

As the stage is set for a cracking contest, let's see how the surface at Sabina Park in Jamaica will behave throughout the match.

Sabina Park Kingston Jamaica Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, will likely offer a hard surface with true pace. The iconic venue witnessed a run-fest in the first T20I, with both teams breaching the 180-run mark comfortably. 

Therefore, a good batting wicket with an even pace is expected in Jamaica for the second encounter. There could be a bit of spongy bounce which the fast bowlers can exploit. Having said that, if the batters pick the length early and get on top of the bounce, they can dispatch the deliveries into the stands. 

The spinners won’t likely get significant help off the surface. Therefore, they will focus on varying their pace and bowling wicket-to-wicket in the middle overs. Considering the nature of the pitch, the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
